Hi Glen and Tony,

Looks like the server is still offline (at least not reachable via 
HTTP): http://edublog.venango.org/

What is the next step to et it back?

Tarun is done at the end of next week and he has one more major piece of 
Abiword code to add to the server (and lots of GUI - work flow tweaks to 
make too, time permitting).

Let me know what we can do to get it back online before the weekend.

Thanks,

Greg S
